Victrix Posted September 26, 2023 · Member Posted September 26, 2023 Hello! Bought these two from a metal detectorist and as far as i've read the swastika was used by the Eburones. But I also see coins with swastika attributed to the Atuatuci. Anyone can give me some insight ?ย ๐ 2 Quote
Edessa Posted September 26, 2023 · Supporter Posted September 26, 2023 In CCCBM Vol III, Derek Allen and Melinda Mays say about this issue:ย "There is a wide distribution, especially concentrated in Belgium (including eighty-nine anepigraphic and twelve AVAV- CIA coins from Liberchies), Luxembourg, the Netherlands (fifty-eight recorded specimens, thirty-seven of which are from Nijmegen), Germany and Switzerland. The four examples found at Augsburg-Oberaden indicate that this coinage was struck before 8 BC. Examples of this type have been found in the hoards from Hussigny-Godbrange and Kรถln. The traditional attribution has been to the Aduatuci. An attribution to the region of the Eburones is equally defensible." 2 Quote
